REPORT ON PUBLIC HEARING

1. Background: The public hearing for Navi Mumbai International Airport was conducted by

Maharashtra State Pollution Control Board on 5th May, 2010 at Anant Pandurang

Bhoir Vidyalaya & Junior College, Dapoli-Pargaon, Tal : Panvel, Dist: Raigad.

The proceedings of Public Consultation along with C.D. is sent to MoEF vide their

letter No.BO/RO(P&P)/PH/B-3404 dtd.13th May, 2010. A copy of proceedings

along with C.D. was made available to CIDCO Ltd., to prepare the final

Environment Impact Assessment Study report by incorporating points of

environmental concern received during the above public consultation. The copy

of proceedings of Public Consultation along with C.D. is annexed to this Report

on Public Hearing.

2. Observation:

The proceedings of public consultation was examined by us and observations are

narrated below:

i) The examination of the proceedings of public consultation reveals that no

points/ study /demands were raised by the attendees during the public

hearing. The questions raised by the attendees were mainly seeking the

information regarding the project details and clarifications on the studies

covered in draft EIA study. No specific environmental concerning points

were raised during the public consultation meeting requiring attention in

preparation of final EIA Study.

ii) The two memorandums annexed to the proceedings are examined and our

say thereon is given below:

a) Navi Mumbai Antarrastriya Vimantal Prakalp Badhit Samithi

(Vadghar to Ulwa Division) Chinchpada, Tal: Panvel, Dist: Raigad.

“This Memorandum states that the Samithi has reservation as

regards to public hearing for reason that Project Affected People



(PAP) are not taken into confidence while formulating the “Navi

Mumbai International Airport Project”.

This Corporation initiated the process of taking project affected

people in to confidence well before the project getting in-principal

approval from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, GoI and Government of

Maharashtra (GoM) by conducting meeting with project affected

people way back in June, 2007 wherein project of Navi Mumbai

International Airport was introduced and Corporation of PAPs was

sought.

The Corporation prepared draft Re-Settlement & Rehabilitation(R &

R) Policy based on National and State R & R Policy upon receipt of

“In Principal” approval from MOCA in July, 2007. The public

consultation again commenced after the project got approval of

Terms of Reference (TOR) for conducting environment impact

assessment study from MOEF. Based on feed back received in

earlier meetings, the draft R & R Policy was again discussed by

conducting series of meeting at each of seven Grampanchayats

during December, 2009 & January, 2010 and various suggestions

given during the meetings are noted. Few of the photographs of

above meetings are annexed.

The draft R & R Policy is being modified based on the feed back

received during the above meetings and same will be finalized in

consultation with concerned Department of Govt. of Maharashtra.

Thus, above exercise of Public Consultation reveals that project

affected people equally participate in the project formulation of Navi

Mumbai International Airport.



b) Paramparik Machimar Bachav Kruti Samitti, Navi Mumbai.

“This memorandum states that traditional fisherman community

would loose the livelihood due to Navi Mumbai International

Airport”.

Based on our socio-economic survey, only 2.0% of PAP are

engaged in fishing activities and there is no active fishing activities

taking place in the project area. Moreover, the project does not

close any streams meeting the Panvel creek. One of the three

sites selected for re-settlement of project affected people is

Vadghar fronting water so as to relocate such fishing community in

this area to enable them to continue their fishing activities.

Thus, the R & R Policy incorporate the concern of fisherman

community and the Navi Mumbai International Airport Project

keeps the flow of streams in tact to continue their traditional fishing

activities.
